I think I can just barely make out the serial numbers of my rifles sitting in the rack in the enlarged rack picture. Yeah. That's it. :)

Great pictures. Thanks you for posting them. Love the Eagle and Shield design next to the gunner.

A truly neat picture. Where does it come from?
Must be on Luzon, as that is the only island that had a passenger railroad at the time...maybe it had the only railroad in the country at that time.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans" . . . . . . . . but, maybe because I'm getting too old, I would not feel very safe sitting on top of that carriage, even though I suspect they went very slowly, and such "seating" is common to this day in India, Pakistan, etc.

It's funny, I feel the same way that you do but 30-40 years ago that would have been no big deal and probably even be considered fun!
